A state Department of Transportation spokesman said last week that the state had used more than 100,000 tons more salt by early February than in all of last winter. The spokesman said a big storm can use up to 20,000 tons.

A separate cargo ship brought salt from Chile last week.

Snow is expected Wednesday morning. CBS 2’s Lonnie Quinn reported the snow will only amount to between a trace to 1 inch – beginning in the morning rush, and on-again off-again in the early morning hours.
